The Roman Missal: Proper of Saints, October (English) 15

1[October 14. St Callistus, Pope, Martyr.—Double.]

2Introit. Dan. iii. O Ye priests of the Lord, bless the Lord; O ye holy and humble of heart, praise God. Ps. All ye works of the Lord, bless the Lord; praise and exalt him above all for ever. Glory, &c.

3Prayer. Deus, qui nos conspicis. O God, who seest us faint through our own infirmity, mercifully revive us to thy love by the examples of thy saints. Through our Lord, &c.

4[Commemoration of the Octave of St Edward, as above.]

5Epistle. Hebrews v. 1—4. Brethren, every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins. Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err, because he himself also is compassed with infirmity; and therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.

6Gradual. I have found David my servant: with my holy oil I have anointed him: for my hand shall help him, and my arm shall strengthen him.—The enemy shall have no advantage over him; and the son of iniquity shall not hurt him. Alleluia, alleluia.—The Lord loved him, and adorned him: he clothed him with a robe of glory. Alleluia.

7[Gospel. St Matt. x. 26—32. Nothing is covered, &c. as at page XI. Credo.]

8Offertory. My truth and my mercy shall be with him; and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

9Secret. May the mystical oblation benefit us, O Lord; and may it free us from our crimes, and confirm us with perpetual salvation. Through our Lord, &c.

10[Commemoration of the Octave of St Edward; We offer to thee, page XXXVII.]

11Communion. Blessed is that servant whom, when his lord shall come, he shall find watching: Amen, I say to you, he shall set him over all his goods.

12Postcom. Quæsumus. We beseech thee, Almighty God, that the sacred offerings may purify us from our sins, and produce in us the effect of an upright life. Through our Lord, &c.
